Jiang Feng and others came to the land of West Valley. They didn't know it until they went there, but they were shocked to find that there were many snakes' nests here. After the first round of investigation, thirty-four different species of snakes have been discovered. There is one type that looks very similar to a spirit snake, but the color and pattern are very different.
It was also the first time for the deputy village chief to see this kind of snake, and he was extremely surprised.
The accompanying medical staff extracted the body fluids of the snakes and found that they actually contained the virus that caused the plague, but the content was relatively low.
Medical staff collected snake serum and injected it into sick people, but unfortunately it had no effect.
It seems that serum alone cannot completely kill those viruses.
Everyone had no choice but to continue investigating. After that, everyone followed the snake's nest and went deep into a cave.
This cave is intricate and extends in all directions, with many small snakes swimming around.
Jiang Feng guessed that there must be something wrong with this cave, and the Great Protector would definitely leave some clues here. But no matter how much we investigated, we still found nothing suspicious.
After working hard all night, everyone achieved nothing and returned without success.
In the village, almost every few minutes, someone would die of illness, and despair enveloped the entire village.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Feng, who had not slept all night, looked at the unconscious Bai Shuilan and felt heartbroken. What's worse is that Yoyo's condition has begun to worsen, and she now has to stay in bed.
Jiang Feng's body was also very tired. He had not rested for a day and a night. Moreover, in order to avoid being infected with diseases, Jiang Feng has always maintained a relatively high strength value. If Jiang Feng was not strong enough, his body would have collapsed long ago.
All things were getting worse, but Jiang Feng did not give up. He went to the deputy village chief again and asked to continue searching the snake nest. But the deputy village chief looked sad and desperate: "Many guards have given up, and many of them are sick. Now they have no strength at all, and they all want to have a good rest."
"How many more people can there be?"
"I don't know." The deputy village chief said sadly.
"So you gave up?"
"You haven't given up yet, how could I give up?"
"Okay, then let's continue to gather people, as many as we can."
In this way, the deputy village chief broadcast to everyone and said a lot of sensational words. However, in the end, only two to three hundred guards arrived. However, in addition to the guards, there were more than two hundred villagers. They did not want to give up. They hoped to find an antidote. , to save his family.
The village chief Wu Lan secretly watched everything Jiang Feng did, and his heart became very tangled. First of all, the village chief hated Jiang Feng. He felt that Jiang Feng had taken away everyone's hope. However, the village chief could now feel Jiang Feng's desire to save everyone. He knew that Jiang Feng had been working hard, and even if most people had given up, he would not back down.
Although he was a little moved in his heart, the village chief still did not formally show up to speak to Jiang Feng. He still felt that what Jiang Feng had done was in vain.
In this way, Jiang Feng led more than 500 people to the West Valley Snake Nest again.
Another day of investigation, Jiang Feng still found nothing, and things got worse and worse. Of the more than 500 people who followed Jiang Feng, more than 300 were not infected originally. Now when they went to Snake Nest, more than 200 of these 300 people became infected.
On this day, the little hope that was left completely withered.
After that, on the third day, there were only 45 people left who were willing to follow Jiang Feng to investigate in the West Valley.
Jiang Feng looked at their haggard faces and felt extremely distressed.
"Forget it, you don't want to go, just me." Jiang Feng's eyes were extremely sad.
"No, one more person means more strength." One of the middle-aged men shouted.
Jiang Feng walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"
"This disease is very contagious. Even if you stay here, it may not be safe. So I'm willing to go to Xigu with you to continue the investigation."
"Aren't you afraid that this is useless work?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. I would rather choose to do something than watch my family die."
Hearing these words, Jiang Feng was extremely moved. However, Jiang Feng had little hope left in his heart, and he did not want to watch them go deep into dangerous places.
"Thank you, thank you. But you should go and spend time with your families. Don't worry, I will continue to work hard." Jiang Feng shook hands with the middle-aged man.
In this way, Jiang Feng rejected the 45 people and planned to go alone.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a louder voice sounded.
Jiang Feng turned around and saw the village chief Wu Lan.
"Is it you?" Jiang Feng was a little curious.
"The deputy village chief is seriously ill and has no strength anymore, so I will replace him. After all, one more person means more strength."
"You... don't hate me anymore?"
"Whether you hate it or not, the plague in the village will not disappear automatically. If there is still hope, even if there is only a glimmer, I, as the village chief, should do something."
"Do you really think so?" Jiang Feng was a little excited.
"Let's go, we have to fight for every minute and every second."
"Well, if everyone is willing, please continue to contribute." Jiang Feng shouted to everyone.
Those 45 people raised their hands and shouted: "Okay!"
Jiang Feng's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. To be honest, Jiang Feng was almost desperate, but now, he felt that there was still hope.
Jiang Feng led these 45 people and headed towards the West Valley together with the village chief Wu Lan.
At the exit of the village, there was a man sitting on a stone, hunched over. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Liu Shui.
Jiang Feng hurriedly ran over and asked, "Why are you here? Why don't you go rest?"
Liu Shui replied in a weak voice: "I have thought about it for a long time in the past two days. I agree with your point of view that there may be something wrong with the West Valley Snake Nest, so I will go with you this time."
"But your body is already so weak, can you withstand the torture?"
"Today, I can still barely use my powers, but by tomorrow, I may be really useless. So no matter how my body is, I must make a final attempt."
"Do you think there is an illusion in the West Valley Snake Nest?" Jiang Feng asked.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"But didn't you say that before? If the Great Protector dies, all the illusions he cast will disappear."
"This is true under normal circumstances, but there may be some illusions that will not disappear even if the caster dies. Besides, the old man who protects the law, although his combat power is low, his illusion skills are really amazing. "
"Okay, then today is the last game."
"By the way, I might not be able to walk..."
Before Liu Shui could finish speaking, the village chief Wu Lan took the initiative to come to Liu Shui and said, "I hurt you before, and I feel very guilty. Today, I will carry you."
Liu Shui hesitated for several seconds and finally replied: "Okay."
In this way, Jiang Feng and others entered the Snake Nest Cave again.
Miraculously, Liuguo really felt the existence of illusion.
"Jiang Feng, I can feel the existence of illusion, but I can't determine the specific location. Please take me to some suspicious places." Liu Shui said weakly.
Afterwards, Jiang Feng took Liushui to seven different suspicious points, but all of them yielded no results.
"Cough cough cough..." Liu Shui coughed up a lot of blood.
One of the medical staff looked at Liu Shui and said nervously: "Oh no, he's dying, he won't be able to hold on anymore."
Liu Shui shed tears of reluctance and said angrily to Jiang Feng: "Is there any place left? Is there any place left? I am not willing to die like this."
"Yes, there is one last place."
This so-called last place actually has the least doubts, but Jiang Feng has no choice now and can only make a desperate move.
Ten minutes later, Liu Shui arrived in front of a tall wall.
Liu Shui put his hand on the wall. Suddenly, Liu Shui's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "I found it, I found it, that's it."
"Wow, ah, ah, ah..." Liu Shui used his last strength to use his superpower to dispel the illusion in front of him.
"Hush, hiss, hiss..." The huge wall gradually turned into a puff of smoke.
But after the smoke cleared, a stone house was discovered here.
"Hurry in and search." Jiang Feng led the men and rushed into the stone house.
After entering the stone house, I found a large laboratory filled with various experimental supplies. Not only that, there are many cages here, containing all kinds of snakes. Many snakes are dead, and some snakes keep sticking out their tongues at people.
"This is the laboratory where the Great Protector studies viruses. Hurry and search carefully. The antidote should be here." Jiang Feng shouted.
Medical staff immediately started searching and then started testing on the spot.
After hours of hard work, medical staff finally found a reagent. It can be seen from the microscope that this reagent can inhibit the activity of the virus.
This should be the antidote.
Medical staff immediately began to study the ingredients of the reagent and began to produce antidotes in large quantities that evening.
That night, batch after batch of antidotes began to be delivered to the village.
People in the village were injected with antidote, and a small number of people began to improve. The villagers suddenly saw hope.
Late at night, Jiang Feng returned to Youyou's home and injected the antidote into Bai Shuilan and Rias.
After the injection, Jiang Feng sat next to Bai Shuilan and guarded her.
About an hour later, there was a commotion in the village, and many people reported that the antidote was useless.
Another hour later, the researchers came to Youyou's house and reported to Jiang Fenghui: "The antidote is not powerful enough. It can only inhibit the activity of the virus. But after a while, the virus began to activate again."
"You mean the antidote doesn't work?"
"I specifically studied the virus that caused the plague in the past. This antidote can completely kill that virus, but it cannot kill the current virus. In other words, the current virus is the evolution of the original virus, and they are no longer Fear the antidote.”
The researcher's words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Jiang Feng's heart.
Afterwards, the village fell into turmoil and despair.
And Jiang Feng was also in despair. He could no longer see any hope.
Jiang Feng stood beside Bai Shuilan, holding her blistered arm.
This arm, which was originally as white and flawless as soft as water, was now covered in blisters with pus and blood.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
Jiang Feng's tears kept falling...
"I'm sorry, girl, I can't save you, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Feng cried desperately, and the tears flowed down into the ruptured blisters.
That night, Jiang Feng closed his eyes and lay next to Bai Shuilan.
Jiang Feng, I'm so tired. I haven't slept for three days. I'm so tired...
The screen turns black...everything becomes silent...
After a long time, Jiang Feng was woken up by a call.
"Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, wake up, wake up..."
